Kites are light (but heavier than air) flying objects, which utilise wind energy to create lift. They have been around for centuries and although the traditional kite is a diamond shape, they come in many different shapes, made of a variety of mate- rials. Different kites are suited to different weather conditions and their size and shape affects their performance. This kit makes 2 different kites: a box kite, which requires higher winds to fly properly and a diamond-shaped kite, which is lighter and flies well in light wind.
